I downloaded Ad Aware 5.5 and ran it. Amazing. I had some webhancer crap and some p0rno crap. All gone now. I do have Gator for all my site passwords, so I think I'll keep that.

Go to the above link and run it!

I ran it and had 21 of the damn things! Now I have it setup to clean things whenever I boot up. Its great!

I was clean.

ZoneAlarm personal firewall would block these idiot programs from getting out anyway.

What I think is especially ironic is on this Zdnet web page is has "Get Go!zilla" right under the download link. Go!zilla carries Aureate Spyware - now that's funny!
